There are actually very few *really* free TTF files around. Almost all the "free" fonts you see are either commercial and distributed in violation of copyright, or different types of shareware distributed under restrictions like "personal use only" that would violate DFSG. There's also a problem of free replacements for commercial fonts, which don't always have correct metadata - for instance, a file called "Helvetica" is much more often some kind of Arial derivative, because real Helvetica is jealously guarded by commercial interests. Probably the best source for free TTF fonts is existing free software packages. For instance, if we were interested in Postscript fonts, there's a nice collection of them included with Ghostscript for which somebody else has already done the work of license clearing. I think some X servers may come with really-free TTF fonts. -- Matthew Skala [EMAIL PROTECTED] Embrace and defend. http://ansuz.sooke.bc.ca/ _______________________________________________ Cinelerra mailing list Cinelerra@skolelinux.no https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra
